This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!

So going to court was a very scare thing for me because i have never gone to court nor hire a lawyer before. But I got a recommendation to go see Terry Salerno, so I did. I was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made! He not only helped me have a peace of mind during this whole fiasco, bu...t also helped my family have a peace of mind as well. He's extremely good at what he does! He makes sure to keep you in the loop with every little thing that happens or changes in your case. Honestly, I can keep going on and on about how wonderful they treated and how they kept me in the loop. I would recommend Terry Salerno to anyone who needs a lawyer! I am truly grateful that they helped me in the hardest period of my life. 10/10 without a doubt in my mind.

Workman's Comp Case

Mr. Salerno was a great help with my workman's compensation case. I was injured on the job and had initially gone with another attorney who was doing absolutely nothing to help me. I contacted Mr. Salerno for a second opinion and I immediately knew that I needed to be rid of my attorney and have M...r. Salerno represent me. Within a day of asking for his representation Mr. Salerno had my case filed in Workman's Compensation Court. He kept me apprised of all that was happening with my case and answered all of my questions within a timely manner and to a level I understood. When we went to court Mr. Salerno was more than ready with with his rebuttals and was very professional in every aspect. He did everything within his scope to make sure I had the best outcome with my case. He made sure that if needed we had other professionals review the case and give their professional inputs to support my case. The office staff was also a pleasure to work with and talk to. I had a great experience even when going through a bad one.

Mr. Salerno is a very talented lawyer. He is kind, smart, respectful and hard working.

Mr. Salerno is a very talented lawyer. He is kind, smart, respectful and hard working. He and his team conducted an extensive investigation into my husbands work accident. At trial he presented all the important facts, studies, and testimonies of the most qualified experts available. We were disap...pointed in the jury and their ruling, but such is life. We would choose Mr. Salerno again and we highly recommend him, but hope no one else has to go through what we did.

Terrence J. Salerno got my life back in order after my work injury.

I was injured at work. Trying to deal with the insurance company on my own was impossible. After meeting with Mr. Salerno for my free consultation he agreed to represent me. Mr. Salerno did not want any money from me. He explained that his fee would come out of some of the benefits that the in...surance company would pay to me. Mr. Salerno kept my best interests in mind from the start to finish of my claim. Mr. Salerno kept me well informed and truthfully answered all of my questions even if the answers were not what I wanted to hear. Mr. Salerno's office staff are professional and accommodating. If you are injured at work, I recommend you contact Terrence J. Salerno and let him help you get your life back.

Medical malpractice lawyer | Aug 10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Terry is both courageous and conservative at the same time -- qualities that a trial lawyer who works in one of the most challenging areas of trial practice needs. He is conservative in determining the viability of a case at the outset through careful investigation; and once he has identified the evidence to support the case, he is courageous in proving it and presenting it to a jury. Terry has great compassion for his clients, many of whom have suffered great harms and losses. He does excellent work and I am glad to endorse him."
